Powerlifter Lya Bavoil in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Gym Motivation"

Lya Bavoil is offering up a little "gym motivation" in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the power lifter shows off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while lifting super heavy weights. "TOOOO THE MOOON 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️," commented one of her followers about her impressive Instagram video, while several others left fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Lya is driven by self improvement. "(My motivation is) to always be better. Not better than someone else, but better than I was yesterday, or the months before. Just keep pushing hard, and keep trying to reach perfection. There is no perfection, but there is always something you can work on, with technique and form and things like that. So I just want to be better every day," she told Fitness Volt.

Lya works with a nutritionist to achieve her dietary goal. "It depends on the day, but sometimes I eat three or five times a day. It depends on my day, if I work or not, or if I wake up late or not. I have my macros everyday, that I have to hit, like my macros when I train and when I don't train, but I adjust it with my meals. I'm around 2000 calories per day."

Lya has Asperger's. "It helps me in a way, because I always do the same squat, bench, deadlift, and I feel secure with powerlifting," she said. "There are no surprises in training, I know what I have to do every day. I have my plan, and it's always the same competition lifts," she continued. "The challenges were learning how to handle it in public, and in competition. But now that people know, they care about it. They pay attention to me more than other people because they know things like noises can be bad for me. It secures me, and makes me feel great. I'm not afraid anymore to compete in international competitions. Now I have friends in powerlifting and they know it, and they help me."

"My favorite exercise, and it always surprises people when I say it, but it's bench press. I like bench press because you don't have to wear the sleeves, you don't have to wear the belt. I feel free, and I don't feel very tired after bench sessions."

Lya hits the gym almost daily. "I train five days a week. I do four squat, five bench, and two deadlift, and I essentially just do competition lift," Bavoil said. "(I train) heavy like two days a week," she says.
